What can the private sector do to promote and scale up climate adaptation?
Climate change is no longer a future threat, it’s a present-day reality that is reshaping economies, ecosystems, and societies around the world. As mitigation is no longer enough; adaptation is essential. Yet, despite increasing recognition of the need to invest in adaptation, global efforts remain fragmented and underfunded.
In our latest episode of Top of the Agenda, guest host Tim Jenkinson is joined by Sophie Talarico, Climate Policy Manager, and Sandra Hanni, Head of Climate Policy, both from the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), alongside Georgia Davies, Senior Consultant at Oxera. Together, they explore how the private sector can play a pivotal role in advancing and scaling up climate adaptation solutions.
